The Army Chaplains told the couple that they could attend. This was about trauma and emotional scars. What the hell? How can we let our soldiers down like that. This woman had a chance at healing some of those wounds with her partner and with the people that she served with. It is disgraceful. Shame on the Army for letting one of their own suffer.
This is just just as bad as the Government deporting Vets that are not US Citizens but served with honor. Yep, Google Brothers Velenzuela. Crazy infuriating. I get my Veteran friends all fired up on this one.
